FutureFERNS is Netball New Zealand’s (NNZ) official junior netball programme for Year 1-8 children. To ignite a lifelong involvement in netball, a wonderful programme has been developed that is at the right level for the players at each stage. The emphasis is on fun activities conducted in a safe environment. Small sided games are the preferred training method and are proven to be the most appropriate way to enhance skill and tactical development.
For Year 5-8 players there is a 13 week FutureFERN programme that is played on Saturday mornings either indoors at Selwyn Sports Centre in Rolleston, or outdoors at the Selwyn Netball Courts in Lincoln.
Year 5&6 play modified 6-aside games, and Year 7&8 play 7-aside games.
The teams will have a training session during the week which is held at the Halswell Netball Courts in the Halswell Domain behind the Halswell Tennis Club.
